    In today’s world, almost everyone knows that air pollution and water pollution are harmful to people’s health. However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human health, too.
    People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave（织） cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old persons, for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides, noise produced by jet planes or machines will make people’s life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.
    It is said that a continuous noise of over 85 decibels（分贝） can cause deafness. Now the governments in many countries have made laws to control noise and make it less than 85 decibels.
    In China, the government is trying to solve not only air and water pollution problems but also noise pollution problems.
    61. The passage is mainly about ______ .       
    A. air pollution  B. water pollution    C. noise pollution   D. world pollution      
    62. According to the passage, a continuous noise of _______decibels can make people deaf.
    A. less than 85   B. less than 65       C. about 65             D. more than 85   
    63. 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened because _______ .
    A. they are working in noisy places   B. they often listen to pop music
    C. they live near airports           D. they are too busy to listen to others’ talk

    In Britain arrangements for inviting and entertaining guests at a wedding are usually the responsibility of the bride's family．In most cases it is mainly friends and relations of both families who are invited but when bride's father is a businessman of some kind, the  wedding reception may provide a useful occasion for establishing social connections with clients or customers and other people whose goodwill may be of advantage to him．it is, however, the bride's mother who has the job of sending out the formal printed invitation cards．
    In the case of a church wedding, the vicar of each parish(教区) in which the bride and bridegroom live is normally informed about a month in advance of the ceremony so that an announcement of the coming wedding can be made in church on each of three Sundays before it takes place．Anyone who may know of an existing marriage of either partner is ordered to give information, though this means of avoiding bigamy must have been more effective in the days when people attend the religious service and the bride usually wears the traditional long white dress and veil, while her bridesmaids, who are children, wear long dresses in attractive colors．This may also happen in the case of a civil wedding in a register office but is probably less usual．
    The reception which follows may be held in a restaurant, a local hall or, when there are few guests, in the bride’s own home．Refreshments are provided, a special iced wedding-cake is cut(usually to the accompaniment of speeches)and distributed to the guests, toasts are drunk and dancing may follow．At some point in the celebrations, the bride goes off to change into everyday clothes and then leaves the party with her husband to go on their honeymoon, the journey they will make together, often in romantic surrounding abroad．
    小题1:It is the bride's parents who normally have to________．
    A．make all the arrangements for the wedding
    B．provide hospitality for the people attending

    D．pay all expenses involved
    小题2:What possible difference is suggested between a church and a civil wedding?
    A．Civil weddings are less commonly followed by a reception．
    B．It is less usual for guests to attend the civil wedding formalities．
    C．Guests at civil weddings are less formally dressed．
    D．There could be less attention paid at the latter to convention and picturesque effect．
    小题3:The reception normally takes place in the bride’s home if________．
    A．this is a large one．
    B．there is enough room to entertain the people invited．
    C．the parents cannot afford to hire a hall．
    D．there is to be no party afterwards．
    小题4:The couple leave for their honeymoon________．
    A．after the church or register office ceremony

    Celebrating sleep
    World Sleep Day, observed on 21 March, was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common.
    In 2002, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people that responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed(诊断) with insomnia(失眠) and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia. In addition, 30.7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6 per cent said that they felt very sleepy during the day.
    Overall, the survey found that many people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The survey’s findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night. The short-term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating. If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase.
    There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping.
    Getting a good night’s sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice above, you can rest better at night and work better during the day.

    Jazz was originally sung or played by the African slaves in America. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Africans were sold in America as slaves to work in large plantations（种植园）. After a hard day’s work, these people would gather together and sing, both to forget their worries and also to teach their children about the land and culture they came from. Early jazz music was basically the soulful and sad composition performed by black musicians who had little or no training in western music.
    Many different kinds of music helped to create jazz. Jazz probably had its roots in the 19th century. African Americans created blues music from church music and sad songs from the times of slavery. In large cities, African Americans mixed these songs with music from other immigrants and then formed jazz. Sounds from West African, Spanish, French and even Arabic cultures can be heard in jazz music. In this way, jazz is like American culture. Jazz brings many ideas together from around the world to make something new.
    There are many different ideas about where the word “jazz” came from.Some experts think that the word just borrows ideas from many different languages. They think that people may have made up their own word to describe the excitement of hearing and playing a new kind of music. Others think that the word comes from the Arabic word jazb. Middle Eastern jazb music and jazz have similar sounds. Several musicians from the Middle East have come to America to study jazz. They mix traditional jazz sounds with music from their own countries. This kind of jazz is called “fusion” and it is one of the most popular forms of jazz in America today.
    43. African slaves in the plantations played early “jazz” to _____.
    A. earn some money
    B. entertain their slave owners
    C. develop a kind of soulful and sad music
    D. forget worries and keep their land in mind
    44. Some experts think that the word “jazz” is a word for people to ______.
    A. pronounce the Arabic word “jazb”
    B. form a new kind of culture
    C. express their inner feeling
    D. create a way to explain themselves
    45.What can we infer from the passage?
    A. By comparison, African Americans have the greatest talent in the world.
    B. American culture is a mixture of different cultural and social patterns.
    C. The native Americans started jazz music in the time of slavery.
    D. The music was created by some professional musicians from Africa.
    46. The title of the passage could be ____.
    A. Basic Information of Jazz
    B. The Features of Jazz Music
    C. Different Forms of Jazz Music
    D. The Prospect of Jazz Music

    Many Western people are not used to sitting on the floor any more. In Japan, however, sitting upright on the floor is common in different situations. For example, meals are traditionally had when people sit on the tatami (榻榻米) loor around a low table. Also during the tea ceremony and other traditional events, one sits on the floor.
    The formal way of sitting for both men and women is kneeling upright. People who are not used to sitting in this style may feel uncomfortable after a few minutes, and their legs may go numb. However, foreigners are not usually expected to be able to sit in this style for a long time, and an increasing number of Japanese people themselves aren’t able to do so, owing to a more westernized lifestyle.
    In other situations, men usually sit cross-legged, while women sit on their knees laying both legs to one side. The former sitting style is considered wholly male, while the latter is considered completely female.
    The most important guest sits on the honored seat which is set farthest from the entrance. If there is a tokonoma (壁龛) in the room, the guest should be seated in front of it. The host or the least important person is supposed to sit next to the entrance. Of course, there are other things to be considered in each particular case.
    1. Which of the following situations is NOT mentioned in the passage?
    A. When men and women meet.
    B. When a tea ceremony is held.
    C. When traditional events are held.
    D. When meals are traditionally had.
    2. According to the passage we can learn that ______.
    A. more and more Japanese sit in the formal way
    B. foreigners should always sit in the formal style in a Japanese home
    C. men shouldn’t sit on their knees laying both legs to one side
    D. men and women in Japan sit in the same informal way
    3. When some guests are in a Japanese home, _______ should sit nearest to the entrance.
    A. the host himself
    B. both the host and the hostess
    C. the host or the least important person
    D. the most important guest
    4. What is the passage mainly about?
    A. How foreigners should sit in Japanese homes.
    B. How foreigners should behave in Japanese homes.
    C. Where to sit in Japanese homes.
    D. How and where to sit in Japanese homes.

    Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth’s surface. But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. Their number decreases as the depth increases. At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much. In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small.[JP]?
    The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with an erect set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city. Many stronger earthquakes have done comparatively little damage. If a building is well constructed and built on solid ground, it will resist an earthquake. Most deaths in earthquakes have been due to faulty building construction or poor building sites. A third and very serious factor is panic. When people rush out into narrow streets, more deaths will result.?
    The United Nations has played an important part in reducing the damage done by earthquakes. It has sent a team of experts to all countries known to be affected by earthquakes. Working with local geologists and engineers, the experts have studied the nature of the ground and the type of most practical building code for the local area. If followed, these suggestions will make disastrous earthquakes almost a thing of the past.
    There is one type of earthquake disaster that little can be done about. This is the disaster caused by seismic sea waves, or tsunamis. (These are often called tidal waves, but the name is incorrect. They have nothing to do with tides.)
    In certain areas, earthquakes take place beneath the sea. These submarine earthquakes sometimes give rise to seismic sea waves. The waves are not noticeable out at sea because of their long wave length. But when they roll into harbors, they pile up into walls of water 6 to 60 feet high. The Japanese call them “tsunamis”, meaning “harbor waves”, because they reach a sizable height only in harbors.
    Tsunamis travel fairly slowly, at speeds up to 500 miles an hour. An adequate warning system is in use to warn all shores likely to be reached by the waves.
    But this only enables people to leave the threatened shores for higher ground. There is no way to stop the oncoming wave.
    65. Which of the following CANNOT be concluded from the passage??
    A. The number of earthquakes is closely related to depth.?
    B. Roughly the same number of earthquakes occur each year.?、
    C. Earthquakes are impossible at depths over 460 miles.?
    D. Earthquakes are most likely to occur near the surfaces.?
    66. The destruction of Agadir is an example of_____.
    A. faulty building construction?                        B. an earthquake’s strength?
    C. widespread panic in earthquakes?                  D. ineffective instruments?
    67. The United Nations’ experts are supposed to_____.?
    A. construct strong buildings?                          B. put forward proposals?
    C. detect disastrous earthquakes?                D. monitor earthquakes?
    68. The significance of the slow speed of tsunamis is that people may_____.?
    A. notice them out at sea?                                B. find ways to stop them?
    C. be warned early enough?                      D. develop warning systems?

    Vampires (吸血鬼), creatures of myth, have been around in one form or another for centuries. Terrifying but also attractive, they are as popular in the early 21 st century as ever, as the current popularity of Twilight series, and its hero Edward Cullen, show.
    Vampires first appeared in fiction in the 1700s. in 1895 Irish novelist Bram Stoker published Dracula, introducing the world’s most famous vampire.
    But just what is it about these drinkers of human blood that continues to fascinate us? Speaking to Eric Lewis of the Times and Transcript website, academic Deborah Wells said that vampires are “culturally adaptive”. “We create very different vampires to fit different times. Edward Cullen is not the same as Count Dracula,” she said.
    Different as they are, Wells believes vampires are “the perfect containers into which we can pour our current cultural anxieties”, Bram Stoker’s Dracula is powerful, yet old and physically ugly. Stoker’s book dealt with fear of the fall of the British Empire, real fears in the day in which it was written.
    According to the website Bookrags, today’s vampires have all our cultural desires, money, power and sexual attraction. Represented by Cullen, they are noble, handsome young men whom women find irresistible. What’s more, vampires challenge traditional ideas about death, science and parental authority. This may be why teenagers are drawn to vampire tales.
    “In many ways, the vampire story shows up teenage concerns,” said wells. “The emotional intensity (强度) of the relationship with the vampire matches the intensity of how it feels to have your first real love affairs. Your first real love, it really feels like life and death.”
    55．The best title for this passage should be_______.
    A．Vampires may continue to drink our blood
    B．Vampires have been around us for long
    C．Why Twilight is so popular nowadays
    D．We still like the story about vampires
    56．What is the image of the vampire in Bram Stoker’s book?
    A．Anxious but perfect.
    B．Powerful, old and ugly.
    C．Terrifying but also attractive.
    D．Afraid of the fall of the British Empire.
    57．According to the website Bookrages, today’s vampires_______.
    A．desire money, power and sexual attraction
    B．may not think highly of parental authority
    C．dare to give up traditional ideas
    D．are likely to be resisted by women
    58．Which of the following statements is true according to Wells?
    A．People need different vampires in different times.
    B．Our current cultural anxieties are hidden in vampires.
    C．The vampire story reflects the conches of the teenagers.
    D．The relationship with the vampire equals your first real love.
